Phonics Advanced I would have rated this 5 stars until recently. I paid for and downloaded it last school year to use with my 1st. Graders struggling to read. It was a big hit with them! However, when I clicked on it this week I got the error msg that it's "stopped working". Reported it to Google - absolutely no response.Will keep submitting crash reports for this and the companion app (which many users report that it's stopped working) in hopes that a bug fix update will be available very soon!!
